Abstract: This invention is a method of making a synthetic gem comprising elements recovered from remains of a species of the Kingdom Animalia, comprising the steps of collecting substantially pure carbon from the remains and creating gems from the carbon using crystal growth sublimation.

Abstract: This invention is a method of making a synthetic gem comprising elements recovered from remains of a species of the Kingdom Animalia, comprising the steps of collecting substantially pure carbon from the remains and creating gems from the carbon using crystal growth sublimation.

Abstract: The invention includes a novel synthetic gem comprising elements recovered from complete or partial human or animal remains. The invention also includes the process of manufacturing synthetic gems comprising carbon from a vertebrate by cremating human or animal remains to produce carbon in a particulate and gaseous form. The carbon is then filtered using a conventional filtering technique. The carbon and other elements are then purified and graphetized using a Halogen Purification technique. The gems are then created using conventional sublimation techniques. The synthetic gems may be faceted and polished utilizing conventional faceting and polishing techniques. The gems may also utilize a conventional marking system.
